Review: ‘You’re Gonna Die Tonight’ (Short – 2016)
Review by Jay Kay
Blended with a twisted sense of justice and a wicked narrative style that makes you change your stance on who is just and who is scum, comes the cat and mouse thriller short film from filmmaker Sergio Morceillo entitled “You’re Gonna Die Tonight” written by Alvaro Fuentes. Opening with little to no exposition to help the viewer understand a woman (Mónica Aragón) arriving at a home from a long night of wild, naughty and nasty fun. Barely standing, she is a product of lust, boozes and attitude by her own rules. With flashes of a sex/fetish club engulfing her pleasuring activities in the bathtub, her climax is disturbed by cell phone calls from a stranger who has eyes on what she is doing and how her threats are hollow as they pronounce to her “You’re Gonna Die Tonight”. As she emerges from the bathroom, the game intensifies with the killer who has entered her house and now is on the hunt for her. With each moment that goes by, the woman must defend her life and also understand the nature of the killer and his motive on why she has been targeted. Are they there to kill her or is there something more to their invasion? Continue reading

‘A Dozen Summers’ being released on DVD
From British writer/director Kenton Hall; ‘A Dozen Summers‘ is described as two 12 year old girls who hi-jack a movie and turn it into a story about their lives. This is an interesting concept in and of itself but also consider the lead roles are played by Hall’s own daughters Scarlet & Hero Hall and Kenton himself plays their father in the film.The film starts with some wonderfully hilarious voice-over from Colin Baker (of Doctor Who fame) which sets the comedy bar high. Through-out there are ‘various fourth-wall moments’ and references to the many tropes and devices used by film-makers.
4/5 – ‘Bold, Hopeful British indie comedy/drama at it’s best’

Review: Lovesick (Short – 2015)
Review by Jay Kay
Lovesick is Written & Directed by Brian Weaver.
The line of reality and fantasy truly can get lost within horror. There are very few short films and stories that really get under my skin and make me look away. Why I know what I see is not real, the tale of “Lovesick” no doubt came from the inspiration of the modern day sick monsters in the dark corners as well as the raw exploitation films of yesteryear. Knowing Weaver somewhat, the innate fear and creation of the elder man came from him being a father. Continue reading

I loved playing Joyce. My mom was a single mom at a time when it wasn’t so very common. Having watched my mother struggle in that role, it was very rich for me to play a single mom and put myself in her shoes.
